If you are reading this then I have succeeded in interupting your life for a few moments, so I win. Feeling really swell after my 9th place in the State Time Trial Championships. I keep proving myself and my detractors wrong. I knew what i could do on a great day and I went and did it, but it was not even a great day, I actually felt bad, but as recent winner of the Rochester Crit said sometimes when you feel bad is when you have your best results. So I took it very easy yesterday and did a DB easy ride, a very easy 2 hour spin. Then I decided today to throw down some monster efforts and worked on some hard long sprints. Did 60/90/120 second intervals x 2 with 10 minutes in between sets. First time all year I actually did specified intervals. The 120 seconds hurt like a bitch, but I felt good on the ride as a whole. Actually almost bit the dust over by parking services taking the corner way too hard and hitting a bump and my rear tire came off the ground, but I saved it, and I am getting good at saving possible wrecks. Onto my last weekend and why home is boring now.
Algonac, or as I like to call it heaven or hells waiting room. Anywhere in Algonac is very low key, and you can only ride 15 minutes either way before you hit a hick town and have to turn around. Why you may ask??? Hicks do not like men in spandex. Nuff said. I also feel really tired when I am there, maybe because of the atmosphere or maybe because it will always be home. Needless to say I will not go back the day before a race anytime soon. But it was perfect to see the parents and eat some aspargus, prime rib, and stuffing. Thanks for the meal mom. Other than that I have no complaints about life or anyone in general. Oh wait I always have a complaint. But I will let it boil and simmer inside for a bit, it makes me get out and want to tear legs off. I would also like to extend a very big congrats to Jay Rafeld who did an 8 hour endurance mountain bike race at Pando I believe. He got second and I can't wait to get in a race with him, Jeff, Gary, Andy, Rob and any other Cat1/2's I may have missed, oh yeah Derek, because I have not had the chance to do a team race with them yet. This weekend I know Rob and I are doing Mike Rabe stage race, so we will see what we can do. Until then keep your chins up and keep the legs tan. OUT!
Monday- 2 Hours. Super easy, I felt like a touring cyclist and I loved it.
Tuesday- 3 Hours. 60/90/120's 10 mins between sets. Felt uber fast!
